Are you one of the elect? Can we look over God’s shoulder to see if our names are written in His book? Probably not. We can know, beyond a doubt, if we are one of the elect!
“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:1-6 NKJV
The elect are, “ALL,” “EVERYONE.”
““Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.”
Isaiah 55:1 NKJV
Everyone, an invitation to everyone/all. There is however, a qualifier, you need a thirst for the Christ. Jesus Christ, a stumbling block. What is He to you?
“On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.”
John 7:37 NKJV
Anyone, any man, any woman any child- any and all that have a thirst. Exercise your will, your free will!
“The elect are the whosoever will, and the non elect are the whosoever won’t.” Henry Ward Beecher.
Who are you today? You can be one of the elect. Look to the cross and the One, Jesus Christ, that died for the sins of the world, your sins, my sins. All-everyone, believe on Him and you will be saved…
